Hi all

my little man has 2 (yes, two) bottom teeth since he's been 8 1/2 months ( he's 11 now), and still no sign of all the other - yet. I can see them on the gum, but they just don;t seem to break through.

ANYWAY, now he's figured out that he can use his little teeth as tools to open stuff and bite people and oh yes, sometimes chew food. My dilemma is, that I am a bit scared taht he migh pull those teeth out when he's trying to open things or uses them to pull on stuff.
Any advice?
Can this really happen (that he pulls them out??) or should I not worry and just hope that the other ones will follow soon??:confused:

Thanks,
Belinda:p

I have never heard of that happening - I am sure that it doesn't. My little one only got her third tooth today. She also has the bottom two for over a month now.
I would not worry about it at all. Babies are always chewing away at their gums at this stage.
